They can’t wrap their heads around the fact that the standard kit has been designed to be as light as possible. Everything that can be left out to save weight already has been left out. Whatever remains, heavy though it may be, is a necessary weight. And because it’s necessary, if these princesses can’t carry their equal share, their equal share will only have to be carried as additional weight by a real soldier, limiting his combat effectiveness thereby. That makes these female “combat troops” a liability, not an asset.

I suppose it’s possible that kit can be designed so that women can more easily carry the same gear better within the woman’s frame. Assuming that’s true, then you now have other problems to deal with. You now have the cost of maintaining a second set of gear for the relatively few women soldiers. When they are out in the field, parts are no longer interchangeable between soldiers. And if movies can be trusted, soldiers hold different gear to meet the needs of the outfit. One guy holds the radio, another the med equipment, and so on. If the med gear guy is unable to continue for whatever reason, another solider needs to be able to carry his pack, etc.

Military should never be about equality. Requirements are dictated by the needs of the job and how it can be done most effectively and efficiently with the lowest cost of human life. It’s amazing that women aren’t complaining about the use of drones since it they are taking away jobs from female pilots.

Ok. Then do it.

Only by custom fitting each frame to each special snowflake. But then somehow a five foot male soldier and a six foot male soldier each have no problem adjusting the standard kit to fit themselves and then soldier on with it. So why can’t women?

Because that’s not really what they’re complaining about here. Sure they claim it’s all about different body shapes etc., but the difference between a five foot and six foot male soldiers shows what bullsh​it that is. The plain truth is that they simply cannot carry the load. They cannot meet the standard. BUT THEY WILL NEVER ADMIT THAT. So they make up all this sh​it about needing custom equipment.

Naw. The military is all about equality. The problem is women are not equal. Sure, they claim they are all about “muh ekwaluhtees”, but look at how they pi​ss and moan when they actually get it.

When a woman talks about “equality”, what she actually means are special privileges and considerations for herself so she can pretend to be as good as a man at being a man. But she never will be,

Almost every military in history has had the exact same kit issues WRT its combat soldiers.
Kit has always been:
Large
Medium
Small
Out of Stock
You get what is closest to your size and adapt it, or YOU dont.
You work with what is available or YOU dont.
Besides, it is not YOUR kit, it belongs to the military, and if you “cant” use it because of whatever reason. I will guarantee the troop next to you, or the enemy sure can.

There was a time in my life when I gave a fuck. Now you have to pay ME for it
